That has got to be the worst placement of a leaf I've seen in a long time! It looks like it would be coming sout of the derriere. Oh my. I usually jump on lulu's prints but I'm really not a fan of this one for some reason.To each their own, I guess.

Are you familiar with the 50 Rep Bra? I love the Energy Bra but that is about it. Do you know if they fir similar? Went to my store to try it on today but they don't have it which means I'll need to order it.

Dammit, I just bought the bruised berry but I love these too. How many speed shorts is too many? I have 8 but I do live in FL and wear them nearly every day to work out and also to the beach or park on the weekends. So 9 wouldn't be THAT crazy, right? lol

I'm trying to stay away from accumulating too many prints. I remember one year (1998 maybe?) when I racked up a whole closet full of florals and then by the following year, they looked totally dated. This latest avalanche of florals from Lulu is reminding me of that era. And, while I really love florals, I don't want a drawerful of regret next summer. Granted, I am a little shallow this way. Wish I didn't care, but I do. If you are not as fickle then by all means grab all the floral stuff while you can! Next year the trend may be the polar opposite, like heathered earthtones or something.

Not doing it for me. Prefer the Secret Garden speeds - so bummed they were in my shopping cart on WMTM this AM when they sold out. But maybe it was God reminding me that three pair of speeds is sufficient! I would love just a plain inkwell. NO quilting, no contrast bottom seam.

@ anon 2:48 pm - lol on the drawerful of regret. I have the Secret Garden Tracker II shorts and love them but am not feeling this print. However, the Pretty Palm Run Times shorts I ordered on Monday have arrived. To keep or not to keep? I like the style but not sure if the print is a classic one that won't look dated in a year or two.

I do not care for this print (and that's a good thing, see below). It already looks dated. I also agree that floral and some other prints can date themselves very easily. I try to keep my LLL pretty classic.

As for speed shorts...I currently have 8 and I thought that was bad. I am a hard core runner though so they've been justified as I like to rotate my gear to prolong its life, plus I don't always want to be in the same shorts/outfit (surely many of us are like this). I am going to sell 4 locally though since I no longer wear them. I have previously sold or given away pairs too.

Are these 2-way or 4-way stretch ? Will need to see these in store but probably pass for me. Haven't bought anything for many weeks now. So many things in WMTM.... stuff is not selling out as fast as before.

About Me

For 18 years I was an electrical engineer working in communications satellite system engineering. I've worked at Boeing, Booz, Allen & Hamilton, and General Electric. For the past ten years I've been a stay at home mom who keeps busy volunteering in my community and chauffeuring my three children to their activities. I live in Orange County, California.

The inaugural Sea Wheeze inspired me to take up running two years ago. I have completed ten half marathons and have three more scheduled for 2015. I mostly run these days but also go to the gym ~3-4 days a week for spin class, weight lifting, and cardio.

I discovered Lululemon six years ago and really liked the fit and performance of the clothes. I do check out other brands so if you would like me to review your product please contact me.
